Olivia Linden, was born in Queens, NY but raised
between Queens and San Antonio, TX. Reading and
writing were her passions from a very young age. At
the age of 7, she submitted her first short story as a
class assignment. The story went on to be posted in
the school halls by the principal, and that sparked her
to explore her writing talents. Initially, she had dreams
of becoming a teacher when she grew up, but the twist
and of life brought her right back to writing. Currently
living in Florida with her 10 year-old son, she has
decided to make a career out of writing. Other than a
blog and a few articles written for a website, Olivia is a
newbie to the industry. Jaded Hearts is her first
published novel. Olivia's writing style takes after her
personality in a big way. Her sometimes sarcastic, and
usually humorous tone comes across in her stories. In
reality, she prefers to laugh her way through even the
toughest of situations. Life has taught her that
laughing helps to feel better faster. You can cry and
complturns ain, but no one really wants to see that.

At 24 years old, Jade Spencer's life has hit a brick wall. Haunted
by the mysterious abandonment of her mother, she found it
was easier to live in the shadows of someone elses
expectations. From the strict authority of her grandmother,
the unwillingly guardian to Jade and her brother, to a
controlling fiance who she can't seem to please, denying
her feelings has been a necessary coping mechanism.
Reality has suddenly come crashing in under the strain
of denying her own dreams for so long, and for once,
Jade is ready to live life by her own rules.
It's time for a fresh start. Turning away from the
disappointment of her past, Jade ditches her shady
fiance and packs her bags for New York City. With
help from her aunt, she looks forward to her new
future, her fabulous apartment in the city, a new
job, and new experiences. Two fated encounters
complicate her world when they both lead to
unexpected and powerful emotions. She
struggles with her desire to embrace these
new feelings, and her habit of denying what
she truly wants. In this not so classic love
triangle, with a hint of mystery, Jade learns
the hard way that sometimes intentions can
mean everything and nothing at all, and no matter
how far you run from the past, it's never too far behind.
Will she find love or will she leave a trail of jaded hearts? Love,
secrets, and lies are all on the menu.
